New Summer College Baseball Program 'Dune Coast Baseball' Pitched for New Buffalo with Laporte Partnership
Brian Williams and Tom Rowland presented a proposal for a new summer college baseball program, Dune Coast Baseball, to be based in New Buffalo, Michigan, with the aim of partnering with the Laporte community. The program plans to feature elite college talent playing with wooden bats in a league similar to the Cape Cod League. They detailed plans for affordable family-friendly games, reinvestment of profits into local charities, youth camps, and employment opportunities. They are seeking community buy-in, host families, sponsorships, and aiming to name the team and reveal it over the 4th of July weekend, with a targeted opening day in May 2027. The project involves significant field upgrades in New Buffalo, including new turf, bleachers, and lighting.
Citizen Raises Concerns Over Flock Camera Data Storage and Tracking Capabilities
A citizen, Caleb Johnson, raised concerns about Flock cameras, specifically regarding data storage practices and potential misuse for tracking individuals. He cited a third-party analysis that allegedly found data stored longer than the stated 30-day limit and detailed the camera's capability to identify personal attributes beyond license plates, including gender, race, and clothing types, citing a specific section of Flock's security group documentation. The council suggested contacting Assistant Chief Che Yulman at the police station to discuss these concerns and share documentation.
Ohio Street Reverts to Two-Way Traffic in Section to Improve Fire Department Response Times
The council voted to make Ohio Street a two-way street from Robert Street to Philadelphia Street, amending ordinance 94-346.

The council suspended the rules to adopt the ordinance immediately.
